The device has a support strut (6) arranged in an articulated manner between a lower link (2) and an axle funnel (7). The support strut is supported on a bracket that is rigidly connected to the axle funnel using screws (10). The axle funnel exhibits a tangential flange surface for fastening the bracket. The flange surface exhibits an angle of 30 degrees to a vehicle plane parallel to a contact area of a vehicle. The support strut exhibits a telescope element with a damping unit that is fixed in a position via an automatic locking element (16).
